Galatasaray are interested in signing Kieran Gibbs. West Bromwich Albion should reignite their interest in the 27-year-old.

According to reports from The Times, Turkish club Galatasaray are looking to sign Kieran Gibbs, who is surplus to requirements at Arsenal.

The 27-year-old is now the third-choice left at the club behind Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac, and has been told he can leave Arsenal.

The report claims that Galatasaray are hoping to sign the full-back in a cut price deal worth around £4 million.

Premier League club Watford were reportedly interested in him but they pulled out of the race after Gibbs refused to take a cut to his current wage packet, which is worth around £80,000 per week.

West Brom should reignite their interest in signing Gibbs. The Baggies had a £10 million bid for the 27-year-old rejected last month, with Arsenal demanding a further £2 million.

Left-back is one area where West Brom are looking to invest this summer. At that time Tony Pulis wasn’t willing to meet Arsenal’s asking price.

However, the Gunners are now looking to offload him, and want nearer to £10 million. Surely, West Brom can submit a better offer than Galatasaray to force Arsenal into selling the England international.

It seems Arsenal have softened their stance, and could be willing to conclude a deal for less than £10m for Gibbs, which is a decent value for a player of his ability.
